An orthopedic cast is a solid shell usually made from plaster or fiberglass to encase a limb in order to stabilize and hold anatomical structures, most often to secure a broken bone in place for a period until healing is confirmed.
Casts are available in two types:
A wet cast could start to dissolve in water and may irritate the skin underneath it, possibly leading to infection. A wet cast may not hold the bone in place due to the dissolving property of plaster of paris. Fiberglass casts are water proof but the inside padding is not waterproof and it may not dry thereafter.
